Chapter 370: Mutation? (2/2)

Despite the audiences' mean comments, it was hard to deny that the fighter from Andromeda had an alien and eerie vibe. As Wang Tong watched the foreign fighter, an idea suddenly occurred to him: Could Zader be a Zerg in disguise as a human?

Although even Wang Tong didn't think that it was likely, the consequence of such an event would be catastrophic.

”What's up?” Hu Yangxuan asked Wang Tong curiously.

”Nah, nothing. I had a brain fart.”

”I don't think Zader could win this match. Patroclus is too powerful for him.” Hu Yangxuan said.

Wang Tong nodded; Patroclus was one of the toughest fighters he had ever seen, and the promise of fighting against him filled Wang Tong with anticipation.

On the battlefield, Zader retaliated with more ferocious attacks. What puzzled Patroclus the most was that Zader didn't seem to want to defeat him. Instead, he simply wanted to stab him with his pike.

Patroclus danced around the short pike, evading the blow effortlessly. He locked his eyes with Zader's; he was certain that there was something hidden underneath that pair of nearly lifeless eyes.

”Komm!”

Zader's attack missed its target as it landed heavily on the ground and caused an explosion, showering its vicinity with rocks and concrete blocks. Zader didn't mind the deadly projectiles falling around him. He immediately threw himself at Patroclus, pointing the pike squarely at the Ivantian's heart.

Patroclus ducked down and evaded the attack, followed by a chin-kick that sent Zader flying into the air.

Miao Xiu knew the weight of the kick from his first-hand experience. He was convinced that Zader was done for after having received such mighty blow. Due to Patroclus's overwhelming power, none of his classmates were willingly spar with him.

As soon as Zader received a blow, a gush of green blood spilled out from his mouth. Before he hit the ground, Zader screamed with the most inhumane voice, and suddenly, a pair of wings forced their ways out of Zader's skin on his back.

Everyone was shocked by this terrifying scene.

The audiences looked again to make sure their eyes didn't deceive them. They watched as Zader hovered in the air with a pair of grotesque bat-wings. Zader's face contorted, as if he was perversely enjoying the pain in his body. His bones started to grow larger, stretching his skin until it came apart at some places.

Finally, the organizing committee had realized the gravity of this development. They had previously received reports that all the Andromeda fighters had disappeared after their match, but the committee didn't bother to investigate, since the Andromedians were a very discrete lot.

”Human, Dieee!”

Zader shouted as he swooped down on Patroclus. All the METAL fighters found his GN force very unfamiliar; it did not come from his sea of consciousness, but it was directly from his physical body.

”What kind of a monster is that?”

The wings had lent Zader speed and agility as he showered Patroclus with thrusts and pokes.

All the while, no one in the arena knew what was going on.

Wang Tong's heart sank at the sight of the human-zerg hybrid. He had heard from Ma Sa about the infiltration of Zergs into the human society while masquerading as a human. However, he was surprised that the Confederation didn't do anything to stop it.

”Shit...Is he after Patroclus's gene?”

Although Wang Tong was not sure why the Zergs needed human genes, he was certain that humans could not allow the Zergs to succeed.

Although Wang Tong was confident that Patroclus should be able to defeat Zader, it would be a disaster should the Zergs get their hands on even a single drop of Patroclus's blood.

Li Shiming's face paled as he realized that Zader was actually a Zerg. He lamented that years of peace had made humans forget about their imminent danger, and allowed the Zergs to evolve to such advanced state.

Despite the fear and anxiousness among the audiences, Patroclus remained calm.

”Do you want my blood? Come get it!”
